For a game I want to use mods with (like SH), I prefer a disk or a standalone digital download (like from Amazon). I had trouble with Steam trying to patch/repair a SH install, which I think was due to a mod being installed.
For a game which I do not intend to install mods, I have no problem with Steam. The prices are usually good (especially if you can resist getting a brand new game and wait for a sale), and I have a stable internet connection so no trouble staying on line.
